..FC Spartak Moscow..

Currently sitting pretty in 4th place. Funnily enough the board was still not happy.

I'm now starting a new league, attempting to relive the glory days of Spartak and break the domination of CSKA Moscow, Zenit St Petersburg and new superpower Rubin Kazan. The money in the coffers was quite decent, but I had to sell some players to balance the team. I'm still trying to find a good RWB and a strike partner for Welliton. My vision is to finish in the top 4 in my first season, maybe getting a Europa League berth, and some useful cash injection. The problem is, where to find Russian players who are more than ambitious to get to Spartak. Mind you, Spartak hasnt won anything for a very long time.

I got quite a handsome sum of money from the selling of playmaker Alex to Spanish giants Barcelona, and also by selling the rest of the deadwood. My favorite transfers going to the club was surely the Russians, Victor Boudianskiy, Victor Faizulin and Anton Bober. Fabian Monzon is also doing well with his excellent statistics backing him.

Expensive, but worth the buy. Very consistent.Work rate is very good. I'm still expecting the more from him for years to come. A very good DC from the Ukraine.

Argentinian LWB Fabian Monzon with very good stats. Loads of green signs in the picture above, meaning that he is already very talented.

Solid at the back as usual. Old timer, high influence level and all sort of things.
